" This year, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte celebrates theart of French living through refined and sumptuous st agings", says the château.

As usual, you'll be captivated as soon as you arrive by the majestic avenue of fir trees lining the main courtyard, before being swept away by the activities and shows on offer.
